The N50 grade is commonly selected for applications requiring high magnetic energy density and powerful magnetic attraction within a relatively compact magnet.

Benefits of N50 Neodymium Magnets

Exceptional Magnetic Strength

Provides extremely strong magnetic attraction to compatible ferromagnetic materials.

High Magnetic Energy Density

Delivers substantial magnetic performance relative to the magnet's dimensions.

Permanent Magnetic Field

Maintains magnetic attraction without requiring electricity.

Versatile Engineering Applications

Suitable for incorporation into appropriately designed magnetic assemblies and technical equipment.

Compact Industrial Design

Offers high magnetic performance within a defined cylindrical form.

Exceptional 164kg Rated Pull Force

This neodymium cylinder magnet has a rated pull force of 164kg, making it an extremely powerful permanent magnet.

The rated pull force represents the magnetic attraction measured under specified ideal test conditions.

Magnetic pull force is typically determined by measuring the force required to separate a magnet from a suitable thick, clean, flat steel surface in a direct perpendicular pulling direction.

Factors Affecting Actual Pull Force

Actual holding performance may be reduced by:

• Thin steel surfaces

• Painted or coated materials

• Rust or corrosion

• Uneven contact surfaces

• Air gaps between the magnet and steel

• Curved contact surfaces

• Non-ferromagnetic materials

• Sideways or shear loading

• Mechanical vibration

• Elevated operating temperatures

• Poor magnetic contact

Important: The 164kg rating is not a guaranteed safe working load or certified lifting capacity.

This magnet must not be used for overhead lifting, suspended loads or safety-critical holding applications without an appropriately engineered and tested assembly.

Powerful 6,485 Gauss Surface Magnetic Field

This N50 neodymium cylinder magnet has a specified surface magnetic field strength of 6,485 Gauss.

Gauss is a unit used to measure magnetic flux density.

A surface field of 6,485 Gauss indicates a strong magnetic field at the specified measurement location.

Applications Benefiting from Strong Magnetic Fields

• Magnetic research

• Engineering experiments

• Custom magnetic assemblies

• Industrial equipment development

• Magnetic attraction systems

• Technical testing

• Magnetic circuit design

Surface Gauss and pull force measure different magnetic characteristics and should not be treated as interchangeable.
